Karl, cool, glad to see Green as part of the Dynamic Infrastructure goodness. Cloud, green, and mean: Makes for a winning combination. :) I was reading some research lately showing how intricately tied green and Cloud are for a dynamic infrastructure. Check out Cloud blog on Dynamic Infrastructure too: http://ow.ly/wbMW

Connecting with other people who use/create the same products/solutions as yourself is a cornerstone of a local Tivoli User Group. Personally, as the IBM/Tivoli Liaison into the Global Tivoli User Community I've attended many user group meetings where I've seen people find peers who share similar interest and issues. Through those connections people find answers and ultimately friends.

Beyond the networking is the great presentations by both peers and IBM/Tivoli - a highlight for so many people. With the 27+ local user group meetings taking place in the next 7 weeks and the Virtual user groups meetings too, there is bound to be a place and time that you can create your PRICELESS moment by connect with others either in person at a local user group meeting or online through the virtual user groups.

Looking for the ULTIMATE PRICELESS moment full of networking, education and information? Don't forget to sign up for Pulse 2010 in Las Vegas, NV February 21-24, 2010. We are anticipating to have over 1000+ user community members attend the event!

What a great way to kick off the new Tivoli Storage blog! Great advice on submitting a Storage abstract for Pulse. Another hot topic many are discussing online is the role Storage plays in Cloud Computing. That one would probably attract a lot of attention at Pulse.

You don't have to be a math whiz to know that 23+13 = 36. So what is so magical about the number 36? Thirty-six is the number of IBM/Tivoli User Groups who have qualified for a Premier Status within the Tivoli User Community program for the 2009/2010 year.

As the Global Tivoli User Community Program manager it's exciting to see that last year we had 23 user groups qualify but this year brought 13 more groups within the fold. These 36 user groups had membership growth rates of 25%+ or have sustained 200+ members along with hosting 2 or more constructive meetings per year. In addition, these groups have strong, stable and proactive customer leadership. It is very apparent that these groups are truly the backbone of the user community.

For achieving this status, each of these groups will receive "appreciation gifts" to give away at their meetings and a Tivoli Executive assigned to their user group to speak or attend a meeting. If you want to view the complete list of 36 Premier Tivoli User Groups. You should also check out the latest Global Tivoli User Communtiy Newsletterwhere the program was highlighted along with the Premier User Group of Central Ohio TSM.
